I just found out that I won first place for poetry (Fading into Focus) in The Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards. I am both honored and thrilled to have won this amazing award, especially since it was for a book about my mother that brought me to such a place of love and understanding. She would be so happy! This book has the potential to help others struggling with difficult relationships, aging parents and/or Alzheimer's. Hopefully, I will be able to reach a larger audience. This is very exciting and unexpected. To all writers out there, this could happen to you as well. Persevere and keep sending out your work. Believe in yourself and what you are doing. Do NOT let all of those nasty rejections discourage you. Subjectivity is the critical word to keep in mind when the negativity gets in the way of moving forward with what you believe in.
